Did You Know?
India carries a disproportionate TB burden.
Tuberculosis has the highest prevalence (2,400,000+) and mortality rate (330,000+) among the leading diseases in India.
The fight against TB continues as millions remain at risk.

Roughly 1 in 4
of all global TB patients are in India.
India vs. China
3.8xHigher Prevalence in India
One population size, quadruple the cases: India’s health crisis demands immediate, targeted intervention.
Estimated Cases: 2.82M (India) vs 0.74M (China)
The Need for Immediate Intervention
Despite continued national efforts, India’s TB burden remains high.
Problem Statement
Detection and nutrition must work together.
of confirmed TB patients reported no symptoms during screening, exposing major gaps in symptom-based detection.
TB cannot be eliminated through medication alone. Undernutrition remains a major driver of infection, poor recovery, and mortality.
- Asymptomatic TB cases contribute to delayed diagnosis and continued community transmission.
- Undernutrition weakens immunity, increases disease severity, and impacts treatment outcomes.
- Vulnerable populations often face both nutritional deficiency and delayed healthcare access.
- Early community screening and nutritional support are critical for effective TB elimination.
Core Project Deliverables
A field-ready model for screening and recovery.
Full-service medical vans with driver, fuel, and comprehensive maintenance support. Asset-based handheld X-ray deployment for ultra-portable, field-level diagnostics.
Mobile X Ray Van
Full-service medical vans with driver, fuel, and comprehensive maintenance support.
Portable X Ray Machine
Asset-based handheld X-ray deployment for ultra-portable, field-level diagnostics.
Medical technical Staff
Professional X-ray technicians provided for high-quality image capture and triage.
Nutrition Basket
High-calorie nutritional food baskets for all registered tuberculosis patients.
Multi-State Comparative Burden
Targeted priorities for six high-burden states.
Each state requires a distinct combination of diagnostic capacity, mobile screening, workforce expansion and nutritional support.

Impact on the Diagnostic Cascade
Finding more “missing cases”.
Our integrated model significantly increases the detection of “missing cases” in vulnerable populations.
Nutritional Patient Care
Healing the Body, Not Just Treating the Disease.
Detection is only half the battle. TB treatment is an intense physical toll, and medicine alone cannot cure a body weakened by malnutrition. To ensure full recovery and prevent relapse, we provide monthly nutritional food baskets to every registered patient under our care.
High-Protein Supplements
To rebuild lost muscle mass and strengthen the immune system.
Essential Grains & Pulses
To restore daily energy and help the body absorb medication effectively.
Consistent Support
Full monthly kits provided for the entire duration of treatment.
